Chords

(intro) 2x B E (verse)
          G#m                E
She's the sky that holds the clouds

          B           F#
She's the lady of the house

  G#m               E             B
A blind believer in all I dare to be

           G#m              E
There's no safer place I've found

         B                           F#
Than the shoulder of her white night gown

  G#m                        E               B
Oh I've got the best and the worst of her in me

    C#m
I'd share her if I could
(chorus)
       E                 B
Oh the wars would all be over

             F#              B
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends

       E              B         G#m             F#
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them

     G#m                  E
We'd walk on grass that's greener

        G#m                E
And our cares would all be freer

       B           F#           B
If the world had a mother like mine
(instrumental) 2x B E (verse)
          G#m                E
She's our father's one great love

          B             F#
She's the one he wanted most

          G#m                        E               B
She's the light in the window of the house I grew up in

    G#m                E
She takes the midnight call

          B             F#
She's the bravest of us all

    G#m                              E                   B
And she sings in the garden that she let's her hair down in
(chorus)
       E                 B
Oh the wars would all be over

             F#              B
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends

       E              B         G#m             F#
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them

  G#m              E
Tonight would be easier

        G#m                 E
And our dreams would all be deeper

       B           F#           B
If the world had a mother like mine
(bridge)
      E                           B
Don't go away, don't go away from me

     E
Oh I understand she is a helping hand, still

F#
   I have to say
(verse)
          G#m                E
She's the sky that holds the clouds

          B           F#
She's the lady of our house

B                   E                B
We all need her but no one more than me
(chorus-out)
       E                 B
Oh the wars would all be over

             F#              B
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends

       E              B         G#m             F#
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them

     G#m                  E
We'd walk on grass that's greener

        G#m                 E
And the dishes would all be cleaner

       B           F#          B     E
If the world had a mother like mine

         B       E
Ooh like mine  eh-yehy
